We will be flying onboard the countrie’s the national flag carrier “Ukraine International Airways” and we are going to be seatet at row 16A so we do not only have a wonderful view on the sunset but also on the fascinating flap and wing flex operations of this modern Embraer 190 airplane! 🙂
The flight time is less than one hour but you will have the opportunity to see the full change from daylight to pitch black night within that short period of time. You can find more information on UIA below.
So now please sit back, relax and enjoy the show! 🙂

Ukraine International Airlines PJSC, often shortended to UIA, is the flag carrier and the largest airline of Ukraine, with its head office in Kiev and its main hub at Kiev’s Boryspil International Airport. It operates domestic and international passenger flights and cargo services to Europe, the Middle East, the United States, Canada, and Asia.

The airline was established on 1 October 1992 and started operations on 25 November 1992 with a Kiev-London flight. It was one of the first “joint ventures with foreign capital” in Ukraine and the first airline in the former Soviet Union to use new Boeing 737-400 aircraft.[citation needed] The founding shareholders were the Ukrainian Association of Civil Aviation and Guinness Peat Aviation (GPA), an Irish aircraft-leasing company.
The airline began cargo operations with a Boeing 737-200 aircraft on 13 November 1994 to London and Amsterdam.
In 1996, Austrian Airlines and Swissair became shareholders, investing US$9 million in new equity.
In 2000, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development became a shareholder by investing $5.4 million. In 2006, UIA adopted a new classification system for freight operations which allowed the airline to carry a wider range of goods, ranging from live animals to fresh food and valuable objects. Additionally, an express service was introduced to meet the needs of customers wishing to make use of expedited cargo delivery services.

UIA connects Ukraine to over 80 destinations in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, as well as to New York City and Toronto from its base at Boryspil Airport, and also operates domestic flights. UIA serves over 1000 flights per week. Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) is being forced to make some involuntary changes to its summer 2019 flight schedules, with reduced frequencies and capacity on some selected routes.

UIA is forced by losses to cease flights to Amman, Riga, Beijing, Minsk in November 2019. From 2020, flights to Bangkok and Krakow will be stopped.
